It was the year 1990, Jesper decided to take leave of the
band Ceremonial Oath, that he was currently in, together
with Anders Fridén and Anders Iwers (Tiamat)
He wanted to make music in a different direction, and he
teamed up with Johan Larsson and Glenn Ljungström to
form IN FLAMES. The gang made a demo and shipped it off to
Wrong Again records in order to get a record-deal, which
they did. The owner of the company enjoyed the music so
much that he immediately gave them a deal over the phone,
as they rang him up one night. The next day, they sat down
and wrote the album Lunar Strain, which was released some
time later, and became a big underground success. They had
some "in and out members" , and borrowed some from
different bands. People that have been a More...
Review about In Flames One of my favorite Metal albums | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the album Reroute to Remain performed by In Flames
The entire album connects with me. I love the guitar riffs, drums, and synth in all of the songs and Anders does an amazing job as always on vocals. The lyrics of each song apepals to me, makes me feel something. If only every album could hit home on such a level that this album does.

------ About the song Evil In A Closet performed by In Flames
Everyone that doesnt care about how deep in flames are, has no meaning in life,
the band has the most awsum feel about it and i love the guitaring,drums,the voice, but mostly the lyrics, always wanting to figure out what the lyrics mean,
in flames are the greatest,deepest band ever, love them.

------ About the song The Chosen Pessimist performed by In Flames
I started listening to In Flames by a deal that I made with my ex. I went on a whim and didn't know if I would like them as much as I like HIM, but I was VERY surprised. I am now IN LOVE with In Flames. Every song is put together so well, and Anders is a hell of a song writer, and singer. This song hit me so hard I teared up. I'm a fan for life now.
random observation | Reviewer: zachary
------ About the song Free Fall performed by In Flames
It almost sounds like he is saying "the one eye above" the way he stresses "for what i am punished". He also follows this up with a statement about repentance which can be interpreted as him talking about a deity or the concept of a deity.
Is this a reference to Horus/Ra? Look on your dollar bill. "the one eye above" Masonic symbolism is replete throughout
Open your mind : )

------ About the song Only For The Weak performed by In Flames
to Curnow: it was At the Gates, Dark Trangility and In Flames that created the genre Melodic death metal aka Gothenburg metal. They were all bands from Gothenburg, Sweden. So it was not In Flames alone that were the creators of the genre. That was all I wanted to say.
Oh, I nearly forgot to say that In Flames pwns!
the last sentence is a bit random, but true.
IMO Better | Reviewer: Datank
------ About the song Take This Life performed by In Flames
To the reviewer of "Growing on me everyday" try listening to their album Colony. IMO Colony is their best work. Great guitar riffs, hard fast drumming, low and high screams (Anders hitting his range) melodic, and just awesome. Everything from In Flames is awesome, but I think Colony is by far their best work.

------ About the song Bullet Ride performed by In Flames
omfg this song is the perfect fusion of the powerful old In Flames (which had many many great songs) and the more melodic new in flames (which have gotten just a tiny bit too soft in the last time, but nevertheless have some quite good songs)
In Flames We Trust
Very simple, he's singing about a new stage in his life. He wont be like before again "thoughts of yesterday forgotte, I like the way this new skin feels" then against the grain (against whats supposed to happen, usually) against the odds (against the chances) He will be better and he won't fall again. Oh yeah and he thought he'd nice be like the others, eventually he will be, as the others play with luck to choose their future

------ About the song Touch Of Red performed by In Flames
"I think this song is about a man's struggle within himself. He wants to break out of his shell and become all he can be, but his inner conscience won't allow it.
''Fear - there's a way out''- He wants to get rid of his doubts and insecurities but he fears not getting the results he wants.
''Once again I feel the quicksand
Swallow me, tonight I won't struggle''- He does'nt even want to attempt to try to improve his life because his inner conscience has the best of him and has taken him over.
This is pretty much my life story. If I had to pick a theme song this would be it. I've always been shy and it's so difficult to talk to people I don't know, but this song will help me through it."
This song was originally intended as an alcohol problem as in lyrically intended, but you have a point it also may stand for that if you put it that way
AWESOME SONG | Reviewer: DESI
------ About the song Come Clarity performed by In Flames
This song has very deep emotions. after listening to it and reading the lyrics fully, it sounds to me like a person who is deep into drugs and is always high and living in dreams and not reality and he needs help to be led out of the darkness and pain he is feeling. he needs to be brought to a world that is true and something he is concious for. in a dream you are not concious so thats why he does not want to live in a dream anymore. he needs to be awakened and have something more to live for.

------ About the song Cloud Connected performed by In Flames
I love this song, it's my fav by In Flames, even if it is one of their oldest, it certainly is one of their best. I'm working on a cover for this song to do for Battle of the Bands this year at my school.

------ About the song Take This Life performed by In Flames
Im srry, but your plights of justice go unanswered. if people didnt fight over stupid things, we wouldnt have wars, if we didnt have wars, then we would not have been independent, if we weren't independent, we would be sipping stale tea right now. Fighting over something stupid is nature to humans. It's part of the balance. If there were no wars, then the balance would be thrown off. i don't like wars or anything, its just that if we had no wars, we would be screwed.
am I the evil in her closet? | Reviewer: Ashido
------ About the song Evil In A Closet performed by In Flames
I totaly agree with 'tehepix hax0r'. I've recently fell in love with the girl of my dreams (people told me stuff like 'move on' or 'get over it, you'll find you're soulmate' but this is the perfect girl to me) but she already got a boyfriend and that eats me. It's really killing me but I can't stand to see her cry, meaning there is nothing I can do. Even if I could, there is no way I would drive them appart, sure he doesn't deserve her, but on the other hand, I doubt I deserve her. The only wis that I have is that one day we'll be together and happy. I've started to reconize my emotions in the lyrics of In Flames songs, and that helps, on some way. I also feel like I could write a bunch of deep lyrics like these right now, we'll see, maybe I will. Anyway, this song is great, tells me exacly how I feel.

------ About the song Trigger performed by In Flames
The song is good just listen to it, there's no reason to argue about genres and what the writer is trying to say.
Don't fight each other in public claiming who's right, personally I don't care.
Keep you're own comments at home.

------ About the song Take This Life performed by In Flames
In case anyone noticed, this conversaition got really stupid. Who cares if you can play guitar hero, wohoo, you can press buttons, even monkeys can do that. OMG! you can play a real guitar, (sarcasm) so...
That is not what matters, nor it is where one heard it, I might have heard it first in GH3, might have heard it elsewhere. Who cares, right! So why am I saying this... because it makes me sick to see people acting like this. Are we animals... (wait) don't answer that one ( we are) The last thing we need is for a bunch of wise asses to get together, and fight useless fights over something nobody really cares about. Grow up peole!
Lyrics are not wierd. These are just great, unbelieveable. Maybe i get it in my own way, but still! I realy like this song! One of many perfect I.F songs! This is my opinion. Again - job well done! And also with guitars, drums, ....everything!
Just GREAT!

------ About the song Take This Life performed by In Flames
I knew about in flames before GH3, but I think that it's good, people's horizons in music being broadened by any means. It doesn't matter where you first heard it, if you like it, then you're awesome in my opinion.
Long live the metal. :)
I realy don't think it's a love song,if itwasIwouldn't listan that piece of shit. IT2s more about hatredy and the desire to run away, tu be the evil ina closet or to hvae one, it'i make you feel better and prevent you to suicide or to kill somebody.( i wish they could prevent addiction to drugs but to see more evils in a closet you have to take one more shot...)

------ About the song Metaphor performed by In Flames
I don't understand people who dislike this song just because it doesn't really fit with the usual type of music In Flames play.
Opposite it shows the amazing talent and diversity of this group... Enjoy the song for itself, not for who is the autor. (Remember "nothing else matters" of MetallicA)

------ About the song My Sweet Shadow performed by In Flames
This is song is so powerful and i love everything about it. Everything from the fragile verses, the powerful chorus and the way they blend with eachother.
It's my absolute favourite of In Flames songs, next to Ordinary Story which used to be my old favourite.
I just can´t understand how they managed to invent such an amazing sound tht noone else could ever pull off. The vocals are amazing - fragile & powerful filled with anxiety all at the same time.
I too get goosebumps every time i hear
"I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out" :)
